German Formula Three driver Sophia Floersch, 17, was hospitalised Sunday following a high-speed airborne crash after she lost control of her car during the Macau Grand Prix.

Van Amersfoort Racing team posted Floersch's medical report to Twitter, which showed she was conscious and her vital signs were stable when transferred to the hospital.

Later, Floersch wrote on Twitter "Just wanted to let everybody know that I am fine but will be going into Surgery tomorrow morning."

Just wanted to let everybody know that I am fine but will be going into Surgery tomorow morning. Thanks to the @fia and @hwaag_official@MercedesAMGF1 who are taking great care of me.
Thanks to everybody for the Supporting messages.
Update soon.

The International Automobile Federation (FIA) published a statement on its official Facebook page explaining that Floersch and four others injured in the crash - Japanese driver Sho Tsuboi, two photographers and a track commissar - were all conscious when taken to the hospital.

Amateur video of the accident showed Floersch's car flying into the air at very high speed toward the outside of a sharp right turn, vaulting the barriers and crashing into the outer fences lining the street circuit, but did not show what caused her to lose control.

Red Bull junior driver Dan Ticktum of Britain went on to win the Macau GP after it resumed following the accident.
